There are a lot of blogposts complaining about the several applications available in order to print multiple photos in a single paper, underlining their drawbacks.
So, here is why I didn't have a nice time yesterday night:
I tried the applications photoprint and gnome-photo-printer (and tried other ones supposed to do it, but didn' t realy) and it kept printing, only one, distorted photo per image (nothing to do with the Print Preview, the same applications was giving me before actually printing) and in black and white (although I wanted coloured).
Firstly, I thought it was the printer' s fooling around (shit happens), then I thought that my brand new cartridges weren' t aligned properly etc etc, just to find out that what was causing the problem (PROBABLY- but I won't waste more time, ink, photo paper, patience to exhaustively test the thing :)) was the fact that I had chosen "High Resolution Photo" in the Image Quality (in the Printer Settings) and this made all the applications go wild (even Image Viewer), when it comes to printing.
I am using Ubuntu 11.10, Unity and I have an HP Deskjet All-In-One machine.
P.S. Finally, what worked for me is to save in a .jpg file the A4 paper with the photos I want and then open and print it from whichever Image Viewer application, Image Quality: "Normal Color".
P.S.2: And today, I wake up to find that my email account has been hijacked. Well, I guess I should stay away from machines for today...
